Something that has helped me learn to stay forward is EVERY time I stop on a decent pitch, I do a few whirlybirds. This is really good on steep pitches. You MUST learn to balance forward on the ski or you will scare the crap out of yourself getting out of control backwards. You will learn fast. Also, skiing backwards. These teach you to ALWAYS maintain pressure on your boot tongue. Not too much, but just enough to know that you are forward. Also, think about a lightning bolt. Note Bode's upper body position. The upper body is approximately parallel to the lower leg....
These tutorials are wwwway better than others. They teach you the very basic techniques and for the most important, the reason behind those moves in a very detailed way.
They are crap
Ian Dunn is WAY better than Bode Miller, you see... Can't you see? That's exactly the point here.... (now I'm wondering if I should repeat my above comment a third time). There's never an end is there?
Great tutorials, by someone who is way better than most "experts" at functional skiing in the couloir shown.
@@iandunn4603 your life is crap
Sounds like it but they really don't. Read my reply to Jayne.
Reading these comments is like listening to violin students criticizing Heifetz. Just be grateful that Bode is willing to talk to the camera, even if his concepts are way too advanced for most people to understand. Great skiers will always understand.
Watching this video from the snow plow position.
Don't give up
This is a great video. Incredibly well put together and presented.
One thing thats missed here is HOW to keep your balance forward. But I think maybe its because its aimed at an advanced skier. The poles being forward has never been taught to me, not once, yet its sole fundamental to maintain forward balance, or at least it seems to be for me. The differences are so subtle but you can practice at home just by moving your arms and feeling the slight difference in the balance point at your feet. I'm sure theres more to it, but that little drill did wonders for me in terms of understanding.
Propper pole planting initiates the turn, it lines your body up in the correct position to begin the turn.
Yes, you are correct. I was taught that if I could not see at least one hand in front of me, I was making a mistake. If I get in trouble on the steepest slopes, I shove a hand out in front of me, this puts my body forward over the front of the skis, sets the edges and I quickly recover.
I agree. Teaching the position and correct use of poles is important from day one. Try skiing very steep, groomed terrain without that knowledge of pole technique. Damn near impossible. I teach even newbies to keep their hands well ahead of their bodies and NEVER let that uphill hand get out of your sight.
@@silverback1518 definitely. Some people (like our buddy miller here) do it like eagles catching flight and thats lousy technique. Great racing doesnt translate to great technique and aestetics
poles should be forward and the arms should never go back (knocks one off balance). Ideally you just want to do wrist flicks, no movement of arms/poles at all ... arms should always be in front, never swinging towards the back, turning the shoulder ... why wrist flicks as opposed to pole plants work much better... poles are really just a timing device, so you really don't need to move them, just flick the wrist is enough of a timing device ...
Actually mad to see how far ski technology has improved aesthetically and technically.
Here’s what’s wrong with this video. In the falling leaf exercise rather than leaning forward and backward with the upper body (as the video suggests) we want to move our BOS (base of support, ie: feet) fore and aft. This promotes the fore/aft balance the video is trying to emphasize. By moving the COM (centre of mass ie: upper body) back and forth actually promotes excess body movement which actually makes balance more difficult.
The vertical movement should be created by external forces as the COM moves over the BOS, any vertical movement that affects the flow of the COM will cause excess pressure and disrupt balance and edge performance in the arc of the turn. Pressure control should be managed to do just what it suggests, control pressure! By extending the leg at the top of the arc we build pressure and a stronger edge early in the turn, we flex and angulate our legs through the bottom of the arc to both increase the edge AND reduce pressure allowing for more grip through the end of the turn. Pressure control is meant to affect the ski, not the upper body, which should just follow the line of momentum in a smooth fashion. The irony is that Bode is a phenomenal skier at high speeds but lacks the nuances of balance at slower speeds.
-C.S.I.A. Instructor, 37 years experience teaching skiing.
Nice breakdown, Their 'lighten the skis by standing up' motion is the classic crossover movement. I describe a skier as the feet(BOS) and the COM constantly crossing paths with every turn. You can cross over or under but effective movements to skiing are going to have crossing independent paths.
You need to read my comment to Jayne.
Thanks for the tips and drills. When you are skiing slowly or learning the up movement initiated through the knees is necessary. to some extent. I tend to stay flexed rather than pop up but then again when Bode both demos and lets it rip he really flexes his knees and does not pop up or straighten knees much anyway.
Patrick Purcell Yeah, you don’t want to “pop” up at all in skiing unless you’re looking for airtime.
@@blackestjake crossover vs crossthrough. crossover resets center of mass forward, but uses more energy and is a bit slower transition. Crossthrough is faster and more efficient, but you can get caught in the backseat if you dont counter the acceleration coming out of the turn just before transition...flexed ankles, shin pressure..get new outside leg extended quickly.
there's 2 ways to intiate a carving turn .. up and down and laterally ... bodie shows the up and down and in the turns he's doing, very extreme up and down cuz he's basically carving/racing, and the point of racing is to power the turn ... in what i call skiing/carving, (the amateurs like us, lol) one doesn't have to do the up and down as extremely as bodie is unless you really want to feel the power of the turn ... but laterally is the more efficient way to do it.,
I need this playing on my ski googles.
Ok, so here, Bode shows that extending for the transition, and sinking into the turn is best, but in another video by Guy Hetherington titled “most important move in skiing (part 1)” he teaches the exact opposite. All I can guess is that Bode’s style is entirely focused on carving and edge control, whereas Guy is focusing on off-piste absorption in moguls, or perhaps slalom. Can anyone clarify?
I can try to clarify, although I haven’t seen the Hetherington video, I think Guy is probably more on the right track. The extension of the leg should NOT be what moves the upper body over the skis, this is accomplished by flexing the downhill leg (ankle joint) at the end of the turn which flattens out the ski and allows the body to move smoothly over the feet into new arc. Once we are on the new edge we extend the leg to create pressure and balance on the new ski. We never want to make a move that affects the flow of the upper body (ie: “popping up”) all movements should be to affect the ski on the snow. I hope that helps, I’m off to check out Guy Hetherington’s video now.
Awesome video thanks👍
They're in Portillo Chile! I knew when they showed the yellow hotel.
superb video ! I wish they addressed the weight distribution between the two skis when turning though. How much weight goes onto the outside ski vs the inside ski.
The outside foot. There is a carving drill of lifting up the inside ski and making the turn on the outside foot. :-)
@@zachdavis4103 Thanks, yeah I saw that, but there are also videos and articles talking about 50/50 weight distribution "rail track", and also that distribution depends on which part of the turn we're talking about. Look at the pictures of pro's turning. Plenty of snow coming out of the inside ski suggesting there's definitely weight on that ski. That's why I wanted to hear Bode's opinion on this matter.
Read my comment to Jayne.
Simple, no magic number, no 90/10, 95/5, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, hell you can have all those numbers within 20 feet of a ski run. As long as inside ski not moving around, or floating about, it's dictated by the outside ski, the inside is just following. I know, I know, i'll get many many arguments here ... Too many people obssess on these videos, put an unneccessary emphasis on this "number", there is no number, it varies every run you take.
Zach is right, it is all about the outside foot, there is a "carving", notice i say carving, not skiing ... carving drill. I do this all the time for last 5 years now and it's made my carving much better, took me a long time to master this, balance issues, stance issues, but once you get it, it works wonder, do only on a wide baby hill with no one around, cuz you can get some good speed going and being only on one ski, you don't want to have to deal with people. You must do the turns with one line in the snow, any wash out anywhere in the turn it's not carving. I usually do 20-30ft on the downhill ski across the fall line before i even start to initiate the turn. so you can get good speed going. I said before it's made my carving lot better and that's because essentially carving is really just edging on one ski, so once this drill mastered, once you put the inside ski down, you just do the same as with one ski, you now know how it should feel when on edge .... with much better support and control cuz now you on two edges. This is a great drill for balance, stance you must have when carving, edging control and fluidity of turn shape (cuz you only on one ski), waiting for completion of turn (most major mistake i see people trying to carve, they force the turn, they don't wait for the turn to happen, washing/skidding out) and quiet, oh so quiet upper body movement, cuz any movement is gonna knock you off balance .... Hint ... think Crane moment in Karate kid.
@@tinyskier6250 You forgot something. Balancing on one ski as you traverse the slope is very important in learning how to ski, period. But if you want to do hard carving, you have to generate a steep leg angle to get the skis on that edge. While your skis are crossing the hill, you think about stopping the travel of your upper body and putting it back in the fall line as you change your weight to start the next turn. That creates the leg angle. But, if you do it wrong, everything will fall apart. So, you need a visualization or analogy, something you have done many times, that will put your body right where it needs to be.
You are standing between two bar stools. You want to rest a cheek on the edge of one stool. Take your weight off your Right foot, lift your Right cheek and set it on the edge of the Right bar stool. In your home, stand next to a heavy arm chair or couch. Take your weight off the foot closest to the arm, Lift your cheek and set it on the arm. When you lift your cheek it forces your upper body to stay vertical and not lean toward the couch. When you lower your cheek, it puts your leg at a steep angle. Now compare that look to what a GS skier looks like as the round a gate.
Being able to balance on one arch, change your weight from one foot to the other quickly and resting that cheek on a barstool Is Skiing! Think about that!
This is in Chile, Portillo resort ??
video is ok anybody knows first track?
The hockey stop instructions roll the knee isn't the best way to put it, knees bend one way. The sideways bend may prove effective but must be used sparingly not consistently. I recommend the subtle roll the foot UNDER the ankle movement. It's relaxed and can be supplemented with a knee roll.
Thanks for this cool tips video.
julian lobato agreed similar result can be obtained from shifting the hip into the mountain whilst keeping the upper body over the skis. Far more knee friendly! Combine with a little ankle motion to keep weight on the edge and a nice solution.
Thanks
sorry, what does "apply edge pressure" actually mean? The question is - how do you do this?
Jayne Vaughan there are no bad questions. For edge pressure essentially they are saying make sure all your weight is on one ski and imagine you are trying to push your big toe or the inside arch of your foot into the snow. This will do two things 1) make the carving ski bend to create the turn, and 2) if your are pushing your big toe into the mountain, make sure your foot ‘points’ the ski into the turn rather than falling away to point down the mountain. Both will help the turn come round and start to create those graceful carving turns. It also gives a nice feeling as the ski pushes back, supports your weight and controls your speeds down the mountain. Remember not to end the turn too soon, wait till you’re well past the fall line and in control of your speed. Once you have this you get used to the balance and can work on rhythmic turns
I agree with this. Glad you can give some comparison. Same result. Flat foot works, a better way for me to phrase would be weight centred over the middle of the foot/ski. To be honest as there is nothing above you to 'push' against you can't push anywhere, only get your weight on the correct foot. As you can get on edge, as always a good sign of good weight transfer. As for footbed, I'm lucky enough not to need arch supports or custom footbed, but definite worth asking your boot fitter for advice. When I bought boots they let me wear with and without the additional bed to feel the difference, with no pressure to buy the additional beds.
Roll (tip)the feet under the ankles, practice with the intention to switch directions rapidly, develop your own version of the dipsy doodle.
That made no sense. Read my comment to Jayne.
Why is there so many cutscenes
Turn shape and speed control need to be created early. Extending to release will make you lose contact with the snow and make you late to tip your skis on edge in the critical top part of the turn. Or as many refer to that early part of the turn, the "High C". Extension releases, for all but perhaps expert skiers, will inevitably lead to speed control happening in the bottom of the turn with hard edge sets. Flexing to release rather than extending to release makes far more sense. The other common trait for extension skiers is they have poor upper body discipline and they add upper body rotary, in the direction of the turn. Rather than counteracting movements by turning the hips in the opposite direction to the turn.
Good comment that turn shape and speed control need to be created early. What I do and see in GS and Super-G racers happens just before the turn entry: shift upper body toward the fall line by extending the flexed uphill leg, and flexing the extended downhill leg smoothly to accomplish weight transfer and roll the edges early without much vertical motion. But when wedeling steep terrain for fun, pole plant and falling forward, relaxed, makes later speed control and that seems to be OK.
Bode is quite the rotator at slow speeds. Poor demo.
"Extension or flexing to release" mean and teach nothing. You have to give a student information that they can use to create an image in their minds of what they need to do with their body to allow the skis to turn. Read my comment to Jayne!
This is good...skiing by feel...just put it all together...like Bode. Simple! HA!HA!
Roca Jack baby!
I skied wrong all my life. Thanx
no, lol, it's just you not keeping up with the times. I skiing 58 years and had to change my style of skiing umpteenth times in all those years as new technologies and techniques came into being ... now it's carving ... what it will be 10 years down the road is anyone's guess, lol ....
Is the pressure on your edges more of a push away or down please
More of a push away. You want the edge to "bite" into the snow. There are four edges on the skis, two on each ski. The edge that matters and the one that guides the turn is the inside ("big toe side") edge of the downhill ski. You want most all your weight on that edge at the sharpest point of the turn - the "apex". Get the book "Breakthrough On Skis" by Lito Tejada-Flores, he explains it all in very good detail. And he has some dated but excellent DVD's too.
It’s more down. By pushing the ski away we compromise lateral balance.
I wish instructors would stop talking about pressuring the skis. You tip the skis on edge by basically moving your body toward the inside of the turn. The resulting g force causes pressure, but it is not something you need to think about. You just need to think about getting the skis on edge, then relaxing at the end if the turn and just guide the skis into the next turn, but let speed and gravity do most of the work.
@@grizzkid795 i was gonna reply but you've pretty well covered it ... too much thinking and obssessing over trivial matters, just get on edge and carve ... it's gonna be different 5 yards/metres down the run anyways ... and 5 more down the run and .... there is no magic number or pressure/weight people. You don't have to think about it, if you're carving right, in fact if you know, you can manipulate the pressure/weight on skis anytime you want. You just want to be on edge the whole turn.
@@tinyskier6250 Yep, skiing is so dynamic you don't want to get stuck trying to be robotic. We've all seen those skiers that are trying desperately to hold an exact position, which makes them inflexible to terrain and snow changes. I do focus on pulling up on the inside hip as opposed to pushing down on the outside hip, as it is a more natural feeling movement, and of course, results in the outside hip dropping down.
Extending is old school and inhibits tipping. Flex to release.
marsounds i
Good thing an instructor like you told Bode Miller how to ski, otherwise he'd have no idea. Good job ...how do I know you're an instructor? Easily.
Boola Bear true story :-)
Good advise. PMTS?
Marcel Hircher flexes to release, if you watch the sl videos you can see that at the end of the turn he bends his knees to release, keeping his upper body stable.
Ah Portillo and the Roca Jack !
Seeing some A frames here!
The guy had no hand straps on his poles??? How is this even possible.
I don't like the roll the knee tip. Knees bend one direction, instead think make one leg shorter preferably by relaxing and letting the knee bend a wee bit. So much easier.
you are missing the point and ignoring the fact that you can use your hips and ankles to move the location of your knee. you are trying to angle to ski which you cannot accomplish with the knee alone.
fine, but you not carving which is the point of this video ... dipsy doodle, you seen Stein Ericksson lately.
There is a mistake in the understanding of what happens with the pressure when you move your body up and down.
When you move your body down, you flex, bend your legs (the knees) and the pressure on the skies will decrease. When you extend the knees the pressure will increase.
Moving up the body with an extension of the knees is no good movement for the carved turn. You should instead keep the knees flexed the same amount all the time. You start a new turn by moving, projecting, your body forward in the direction of the fall-line, this to the side of the skies, keeping the knees flexed. Then edge the skies,
i can carve, i’m just afraid to sink down because i don’t want to wipe out at higher speeds
If you can carve, you can hockey stop
I give up. I've see around 6 ski videos why do they all have to have schite music. Why not the natural sound and nature and ski's slicing through the snow.
not everyone needs crap music to listen to while watching skiing or surfing.
Bode Miller was a great racer, bur he is a loussy Demo!!! I do not know the other guy, but he is amuch better seller than technician. !! Very poor!!!
I was going to say the same. Not very good aestetically. Racing is NOT the same as skiing and its more effective, definitely NOT beautiful
100% agree!
actually Bode's demos are fine. its just the technique these days to FULLY utilize the current designs in shaped skis. you dont have to take it to that extreme as the racers do. i dont care for it either but if you want to max out the dollars you spend on skis today then thats what it looks like. i still ski and carve old school and love it. old or new skis. also, Bode's comments are a bit more straight forward. Simple and on point. and there is no "very poor" here
Being good at something doesn't mean you can teach it. 99% of the worlds ski teachers have no clue how to Teach skiing. Read my comments to Jayne.
@@JB91710 i'd agree with that, but i'd say they don't know how to teach carving, not neccessarily skiing .... the goal is to make money and ... since most will never carve, they have to be able to get down the hill somewhat efficiently and safely
There are a lot of bits and pieces here but nothing you can visualize and then tell yourself to do. Think of turns like this. $ Think of the dollar. The curves are your skis and the vertical line is the fall line. When you skis pass under you, get off your downhill foot and think of driving your entire upper body, from your chest to your kneecaps, down the hill in the fall line. That will make your skis roll over because your hips are going down the hill with the rest of your body. As your skis make the turn, your body weight will be compressed into the tongue of your boot which will load up the tip of your skis to help them turn. When you want to start the next turn, stop your body's movement across the hill, get off your downhill foot and force your body down that fall line. Look for it at 8:35
Where is your helmet?
In his pants.
Why should he wear a helmet? Two studies by US universities showed they’ve done nothing to stop serious head injuries. They’re tested to 12-14mph, whilst the average skier travels at 33mph. They’re little more than a comfort blanket.
@@Benzknees Helmets are really only helpful to protect against rocks and other hard objects hitting your head.
@@Benzknees I ski trees a lot and hit my head on thick branches all the time. Very helpful. I also imagine if I were to hit a tree I'd be going pretty slow in those conditions.
@@Benzknees I'll take that comfort blanket any day when I'm in the trees, in steep chutes and going 50+ on groomers.
The up move is both unnecessary and inefficient use of energy. If the "up" move is actually an extension move post ankle flex, then up is down...
I can't believe they're actually teaching the up move. Terrible advice. Flex to release!
Shall I just copy and paste my above comment here?
I think I will... Good thing an instructor like you told Bode Miller how to ski, otherwise he'd have no idea. Good job ...how do I know you're an instructor? Easily (not that the picture itself isn't enough, I promise that it is).
Bode is a good skier, but most of us are not doing 70mph on a downhill course. For shorter turns, up movement is a waste of time and effort
@@BoolaBear Funny thing is, the skier in blue and green on your video flexes to release. So, you clearly have no clue what you are taking about. ua-cam.com/video/SZdM6K0XrwY/v-deo.html
How to ski like Bode Miller? Drink. Get as drunk as you can.
LoL
The material used here is so dated, technically speaking, this vid should be taken down. Interesting from an historical perspective but you can be sure, Bode is not teaching you to ski like this these days.
Obviously Bode is a very good skier lol but I’m dubious of his teaching skills involving recreational skiers after viewing this vid. Lots of confusing, unclear, waste-of-time stuff in this vid. I wonder how good he is in a mogul field? Most ex-racers shy away from the bumps because it requires such a different technique than what they’ve done most of their life running gates.
Read my comment to Jayne!
Not a great video for learning, and for the more advanced skier the thought processes are correct but these guys are no physicists (extending actually adds pressure and sinking reduces!) however this does enable the weight transfer so is the correct responses. For beginners I’d suggest weight transfer is more important to think about, which isn’t really covered. For a beginner I’d suggest save your knee cartilage for now and learn more about weight transfer and balance. If you can balance with 100% of your weight on your down hill ski and lift your uphill ski tail when travelling across the fall line - that’s a good place to be. Weight slightly forward with the ski doing the work and not killing your knees by over edging. On icy slopes edging is more important but not really essential for recreational skiing in common snow conditions. Once your past the beginner slopes this is the video for you
sorry. dudes stocks are way too long! like 100mm too long! painful to watch!
Everyone is missing the mark of what skiing is. Everyone is focused on what parts of the body look or feel like and say, "make them look or feel like that and you will be skiing." Sorry! That ain't it! I will break this down to it's simplest form. If you have questions, ask.
1. The skis are designed to turn. YOU, don't Make them turn. You do what They need and that's it.
2. Skiing/Turning is the ability to balance on one arch and then the other. To balance on either arch, your upper body has to be very quiet and in a vertical position. The ski under that foot will turn.
3. To make a turn from a traverse, you decide when and where you want the skis to turn.
4. You stop your upper body from going across the hill and say, "I want to go straight down the hill." You point your hands and chest down the hill.
5. As you do that you add, "get off my downhill arch and balance on my uphill arch." Just like pedaling a bike.
6. Because you are no longer balanced, your entire body will start to fall down the hill like a tree.
7. That will Instantly roll your uphill foot over onto your arch. The ski will turn as designed.
8. When the ski turns and your feet pass under you, face down the hill and get off your downhill foot.
To carve, do the above but lift your cheek when you get off that downhill foot and slide it over onto the edge of a barstool. Try that at home and notice your vertical body and leg angle. There is a Brake Pedal on that hip. If you want to go slower, press your hip against that pedal. That increases the leg angle so the ski is more on it's side so it can bend more, creating a shorter radius for the skis.
That's It! That's all you need. You think of these things from the Snowplow to Racing. Everything you need to know comes from this. Once you understand and have felt the results, then you can do anything you want."
Great summary, skiing is ridiculously simple within an overwhelming medium.
I prefer to say the ski turns the foot and that balance is a static idea, skiing isn't about balance, it's effective movements.
PSIA aka; put stick in ass,😈 notoriously installs bad habits then teaches them out when installing simple movements bypasses their whole Scientology methods.
One more thing regarding speed/momentum control. Railing carves on edge is fast, smearing and slipping is slow. Mastering the spectrum between these opposites is another skill nobody wants to acknowledge. Way too many skiers drive their edges down with massive body tension as if their lives depend on it. That's the only thing between them and oblivion, especially on steeps.
@@falllinemaniac "Railing carves on edge is fast, smearing and slipping is slow." Yes and no to both. You can go fast or slow doing either. The speed you go while carving or sliding depends on the amount you are bending the tip of the ski. The Steering part of the ski. The brake pedal in skiing is driving your knees forward and into the turn direction which loads the tips, lightens the tails at puts the tip on edge. The amount you move your hip into the turn is what creates different leg angles which creates different edge grip which allows the tip to bend into an arc more.
"Mastering the spectrum between these opposites is another skill nobody wants to acknowledge." The worlds teachers don't focus on what makes a ski turn as designed which doesn't allow them to know how to create the different types of turn. "changing your weight from the downhill to uphill ski is the same as putting your hands on the steering wheel of your car. Allowing your body to fall down the hill, which will roll your uphill ski over onto the arch, is turning the steering wheel. The gas and brake pedal is the amount you lean your hip into the turn. For gas, stand up straighter, which makes the ski turn less and slide more and for braking, lean your hip into the turn which makes your ski turn into the hill and slow you down.
"Way too many skiers drive their edges down with massive body tension as if their lives depend on it. That's the only thing between them and oblivion, especially on steeps." Actually, if the body and weight change are used correctly, carving really hard will allow the skis to bend at their maximum which will keep you slow and in control on a steep trail. "If Done Correctly!!!" Its all about bending the tip of the ski and lightening the tails by keeping forward while on a hard edge. To do it a I call that "Anticipation Turns". 4:25 at .25 speed. When his skis turn to the right, you thrust your hands, chest, hips and kneecaps to the left and down the hill in the opposite direction and get off your downhill foot. The leg angle change will be drastically quick and the skis will snap over onto the downhill edges. Throwing your body down the hill will get you hard on the steering tips. As the skis carve around to the left, through your entire body down the hill and to the right. You will be able to Carve turns down a steep slope while controlling your speed. They tips are the steering front tires on a car. Turn with your tips not by thrusting the tails around.
@@JB91710 thx
I find a surfy smear far easier on the body, it's relaxed and slower. Anytime the emphasis is on the carving edges the speed goes up regardless of pressure on the front of the ski. This is more so in steeps and trees. I like pressing the fronts just fine but not every single turn, especially in the bumps when falling leaves and pivot slips are so much fun.
@@falllinemaniac I spend 75% of my time sliding turns for the same reason. Carving is fun but tiring.
Kakarotto
Nice, but very basic.
kind of too long and boring!
Learn to focus.
